Arsenal blew a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 against Wolves in the Premier League, and Thierry Henry didn’t seem too surprised.
The Gunners were the favourites to win the game at Molineux. They were the league leaders facing the bottom-placed team in the table, and most people expected a simple Arsenal win.
However, a terrible performance on the night, especially in the second half, allowed Wolves back into the game after going 2-0 down.
Arsenal legend Henry heard about the stoppage-time equaliser, and he made it clear to everyone, repeatedly, that he predicted a difficult game for his old club.

Thierry Henry brags about predicting Arsenal’s struggles vs Wolves
Arsenal can only blame themselves for dropping points against Wolves.
The result is embarrassing on its own, considering the position of the two clubs in the table, but what makes it even worse is that this is their second draw in a row following the 1-1 at Brentford.
Arsenal’s chances of winning the Premier League have reduced as a result, and everyone associated with the club is beyond disappointed.
Thierry Henry is one of them, but the Gunners legend’s instant reaction to his old club dropping points suggests he knew it was coming.
After hearing the news live on CBS Sports, Henry heard Micah Richards say to Jamie Carragher: “I told you, I told you! What did I tell you?”
The Frenchman immediately replied: “No, no, no. The only guy who said that before the game was me. The only guy who said that before the game was me. Play the video. The only guy who said that before the game was me.
“‘When we beat them at the Emirates, it was two own goals. It’s going to be difficult for Arsenal today.’ This is exactly what I said.
“Don’t talk things now, the only one that called it was me! Listen, I said to you, this game was always going to be difficult.”
How concerned are you that Arsenal are ‘bottling it’ again?
The Premier League title race is still in Arsenal’s hands
Back-to-back draws away from home against Brentford and Wolves are not ideal at all at this stage of the season for Arsenal.
Manchester City winning their game in between has made things worse, but it’s not all over for Mikel Arteta’s side just yet.
Arsenal remain five points clear at the top of the table, but that gap is effectively just two points because of City’s game in hand.
That makes the game between the two title rivals key for both sides, as the winner of that fixture at the Etihad Stadium could well go on to lift the title in May.
That is why it’s all still in Arsenal’s hands, but recent performances and results are a genuine concern.
